Colorado State University is now issuing student ID cards that include ATM and debit functionality, along with other convenient features. The new "RamCard Plus" is linked to a free checking account for debit transactions and ATM withdrawals. But that's just one of the card's many features. The RamCard Plus also includes a magnetic stripe and bar code for identification, a second magnetic stripe for use with a RamCash account through the university, and a smart chip for keyless entry to campus buildings.
Another benefit of the new cards is the ability to have a students' financial aid directly deposited to their bank account, where it can be accessed with the RamCard Plus. Students also use their RamCards for meal payment programs, athletic and cultural events on campus, assorted services, and to receive discounts at local businesses. The cards can be instantly issued by the university.
